Ylareloth |
It would be easy to dismiss the dwarves of Ylareloth as inconsequential. The land is nearly worthless, and the dwarves that live here long ago forsook the vast underground caverns under Nemohaim and were in turn rejected by their kin. But what Ylareloth lacks in natural resources, it gains in the practicality and spirit of its residents. In every part of the known world, Ylarelothians are known for their stonecunning, but even more so, as warriors. But Ylareloth won't step into just any battle. They refuse to fight for a side that is winning easily, and they refuse to fight for a dishonourable cause. On the other hand, they're always willing to march against such a cause, and they are the primary reason why the current peace has held for the centuries that it has.
The only major city in Ylareloth is Inmennost, and is also it's official capital, even though Ylareloth has no need for any sort of permanent government. It does serve two functions, though. All who come of age travel there to be tested, and the gathering of all the tribal Nosts meet there to determine the region's course of action in a conflict. |
